Project Summary

Summary:

This project will be design for LED based street lights with an auto-intensity control that uses solar power from photovoltaic cells. A charge controller circuit will be use to control the charging of the battery, and an LDR is use to sense the ambient light on day time. We will also attempt to measure the solar cell parameters through multiple sensor data acquisition. In this system, different parameters of the solar panel like light intensity, Automatic solar panel cleaning and Auto solar tracking system are monitored using a microcontroller and IOT. The intensity of street lights is required to be kept high during the peak hours. The street lights are switched on at the dusk and then switched off at the dawn automatically by using a sensing device LDR LED lights are the future of lighting, because of their low energy consumption and long life they are fast replacing conventional lights world over. Solar panel also clean itself to make it more efficient and it tracks to sun to utilize more of solar energy, and we can monitor it through IOT.

Project Objectives

OBJECTIVES :

       By use of this system, we will try to control streetlights from the remote server. The primary objective is to develop efficient Street Light System.

• To provide a better solution to minimize the electrical wastage in operating street lights.
• Led intensity automatic adjustment according to sun.
• A microcontroller unit to control the system
• IOT monitoring system.
• Auto dust cleaning of solar panel.
• Auto tracking system of solar panel
• To provide wireless access for handling it.
• Need some Server which can be used to monitor whole city’s street lights.
• Low-cost Internet technology can be used for remote access

Project Implementation Method

Implementaion/Working:

The solar-powered led street lights activate from dusk to dawn. The LED street light will automatically turns ON after the dusk and turns OFF after the dawn. The designing of the entire system includes: Solar panels, LED light, Rechargeable battery, Controller, Pole, and Inter connecting cables self cleaner of solar panel, auto sun tracking solar panel and IOT(internet of things).

At first designed will be selected, all the electrical circuits will be simulated through PROTEUS software, after simulation circuits will be fabricated. A model prototype will be designed and made

Benefits of the Project

Benefits:

• Solar street lights are independent of the utility grid. Hence, the operation costs are minimized.
• Solar street lights require much less maintenance compared to conventional street lights.
• Since external wires are eliminated, risk of accidents is minimized.
• This is a non-polluting source of electricity.
• Separate parts of solar system can be easily carried to the remote areas.
• Over voltage and current protection.
•  Over temperature protection.
•  The system is easily portable
• Our systems are automatic and easy to set up in terms of wash and rinse times
• Professional installation
• No more manual cleaning
• Solar trackers generate more electricity in roughly the same amount of space needed for fixed-tilt systems, making them ideal for optimizing land usage.
• Trackers generate more electricity than their stationary counterparts due to increased direct exposure to solar rays. This increase can be as much as 10 to 25% depending on the geographic location of the tracking system.
• Advancements in technology and reliability in electronics and mechanics have drastically reduced long-term maintenance concerns for tracking systems.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The lighting comes from LED bulbs, which are trigger by multi sensors. A person, object/vehicle appears nearby the sensors, It capture the signals and turn ON the particular street lights. When object moves lights automatically works. SSLS used to save the energy, mainly helps to save the power. IR LED lights dependent devices whose resistance decreases when light falls on them and increases in the dark.
When a light dependent resistor is kept in dark, its resistance is very high. The vehicle which passes by the street light is detected by IR sensor.
